Vulcan is the Roman name corresponding to the Greek god Hephaestus, who is linked with Pandora’s creation. Both gods rule over fire, metalworking, and skilled craftsmanship.
In Hesiod’s account, Zeus orders Hephaestus to shape Pandora. Roman writers adapted Greek mythology and commonly identified Hephaestus with Vulcan, so Roman versions of the myth may use the Latin name for the divine craftsman. Vulcan’s name also survives in the English word “volcano,” reflecting his association with subterranean fire.
The Roman and Greek gods are closely matched but not identical in every tradition. Hephaestus is strongly connected with the Olympian family and the forge, while Vulcan had his own Roman festivals and religious practices. The identification is nevertheless standard when comparing the two pantheons and is the reason Vulcan is the correct Roman equivalent in this question.
